Why do we need to do something different?

We need to do something different because with our current practices, we see: Increasing problem Behaviours Unclear and inconsistent ways of support Reactive Interventions Limited opportunities for people to learn new skills

What we are doing now is working.

C`s story C likes going shopping but was prevented from going, because the service thinks it is important for her not to be in the situation where she could get angry and exhibit CB

M`s Story M`s impairment was the fact he needed more help to process information, and sometimes got frustrated and would hit out – His disability was the fact that nobody at his service considered his communication needs, and didn`t help him.

J` Story J`s impairment was he was not allowed access to his snacks and drinks in the kitchen, and also was not allowed to walk freely around his house to go to the garden or his music room, because of health & safety. Sometimes he would get frustrated and pull staff by their arm and hurt them, his disability was nobody took the time to try and understand what he wanted in the first place, staff would say he deliberately tries to hurt them.

M`S Story Instead of being labelled with challenging behaviour Now described as sociable Loves going swimming and visiting family Volunteers at the local foodbank

P`S Story No longer sits in front of the TV all day More likely to be taking staff to the kettle Instead of being seen as challenging when pulling staff, he is now seen as taking staff to the things he wants He is now understood better
